At HiQ, every challenge is an invitation to explore new possibilities. We’re looking for someone who thrives on the thrill of discovery, who sees every system as a puzzle waiting to be solved, and who finds energy in the pursuit of safer, smarter digital solutions.

As part of our Pentest team, you’ll be at the heart of our mission to build secure applications and environments for some of the most exciting organizations in the Nordics. Your days will be filled with hands-on penetration testing, creative problem-solving, and the freedom to dive deep into the latest tools and techniques. Whether you’re orchestrating a Red Team engagement or probing the intricacies of cloud security, you’ll have the autonomy to shape your own approach, while always knowing that a team of passionate experts has your back.

You’ll work with Burp Suite, Nmap, Wireshark, and a host of other tools, sometimes in the cloud, sometimes on-prem, always at the cutting edge. Your experience with Active Directory and scripting will come to life as you navigate complex environments, uncover vulnerabilities, and help our clients see their systems through a new lens. If you’ve cracked hashes, explored mobile app security, or sharpened your skills in CTFs, you’ll find plenty of opportunities to push your expertise even further.

What You Bring

• At least 3 years of hands-on experience as a penetration tester or Red Teamer
• Proficiency with tools such as Burp Suite, Nmap, and Wireshark
• Solid experience working with Active Directory
• Familiarity with cloud environments
• Scripting abilities that help you automate and innovate
• Relevant education or certifications (such as OSCP, OSCE, AWS/Azure Security)
• Strong communication skills: able to document and explain vulnerabilities clearly

Bonus Skills

• Experience with hash cracking
• Knowledge of mobile application security
• Deeper expertise in cloud security
• Networking know-how
• Capture the Flag participation
• Insights into computer forensics

Here, learning is woven into the fabric of every project. Whether you’re pursuing new certifications, experimenting with the latest exploits, or sharing insights with colleagues, you’ll find endless room to grow. We celebrate curiosity and initiative, if you spot an opportunity to make something better, you’ll have the freedom and support to make it happen.

You’ll be trusted to run penetration tests independently, but you’ll never be alone. Collaboration is second nature here: ideas bounce, knowledge flows, and everyone’s voice matters. You’ll document your findings with clarity, communicate risks with empathy, and help guide clients toward stronger, more resilient solutions.

If you’re ready to join a team where your passion for security is matched only by your drive to learn and create, we’d love to meet you.
